The hotel is well kept, the food very varied and tasty. The beach is wonderful, swimming is because of currents only very limited possible.
The staff are very slowly, the working moral little pronounced. Everything took very long, it is difficult for a coffee for breakfast and in comparison other destinations in Asien, as Thailand or Bali, not courteous.
If you want a relaxing holiday wishes, stays here for asian standards very much outside of the hotel. All work, massages are also of men performed, which we very bad experiences did. read more

- top food with a lot of choice/variety
We have booked half board, more than adequate. You could eat lunch upon request in the hotel for circa 5 Euro/per person catering. For every meal time there is a large and good tasting dishes buffet. Who there nothing finds is at home only dry bread, there's really nothing to moan about.
- annoying beachboys at the beach/in front of the hotel
Beware Nico in front of the hotel annoying and way too expensive
Richie at the beach is friendly but nevertheless also too expensive
Sena is a good drivers in the ...
Look for your travel to together! Good help for it, is the guide from dumont for Sri Lanka on amazon look at!
We have, for example, with train ride to galle/ matara, the visit of a turtle farm, the transfer to the hotel, the Jeep Safari to the national park (only 2 in a Jeep with a guide), night with full board nearby the national parks only 190 Euro for two people paid. Richie and the travel guide wanted 330-340 Euro have. On favorable is the change in rupees and then the payment of travel in national currency.
Wonderful experience was a rafting on the kelani river with rafting team 39 for 2000 rs. Per person (circa 12 Euro) 5 kilometer rafting for an hour. We felt Sena as a driver it. The wanted for the roundtrip 11000 rs. For total 90 Euro for 2 people we were rafting and had neither on the delicious breakfast still on the dinner in the Hotel Eden do. Richie wanted 140 Euro have. As mentioned, imagine the rather together, then have it as you want.
Recommendable is the drive by train for example after galle costs for 2 people and back in the 2. class (there is no 1st class) about 450 rs. So a chicken-feed in comparison to the offered by Nico and richie. There can one the old dutch fort visit. Best from aluthgama leave where nearly every train. At the station in beruwela stop 5-8 trains between 7 and 16 hours.
Nowhere of people leave some disturbances! They want 'only' with go. And then they want money. If you don't pay, then let simply 20-30% commission in the shops where their buying want. Therefore take in food city long secure \u263a
- room are ok, a bit dated. With a safe and colour tv (one german-language transmitter Deutsche Welle).
- service is friendly but expected tip 50 rs for individual services but coped
For example adapter for electricity you get without any problems at the front desk, with mosquito net however you must be persistent
- money exchange in the hotel possible, but too expensive
The failing rate is higher than the banks but by the commission from 3,5% is worthwhile always a tuk-tuk ride to the nearby aluthgama. Tuk-tuks not right on the hotel the want 300 rs. For there and back. 50 meters away on the main street for 100 rs. Go there.
In aluthgama is located near the National Trust bank on the left side the 'royal pharmacie' change local their money the exchange rate is always good and you don't need a passport (as with the banks) banks have mostly at 15:00 hours closed sometimes earlier. The 'pharmacie' usually late open but but also times until 19:00 o'clock.
- shopping
Clothes and so on there is only junk in beruwela and aluthgama, from the hear-say but in Colombo be different. Foods, we only in the supermarket 'food city' bought. Good prices, no marathon, good quality. In beruwela, as well as aluthgama to find.
- beach is fine sand
The beach was fine sand, beautiful and was gently sloped. The sea is because of the directly adjoining estuary however not necessarily turquoise, however rather brown. The bay is not very long (about 2 kilometer) so you could a nice cosy stroll on the beach.
Here the beach boys to richie. Our strategy was: 1st we are already the 3. time in Sri Lanka and we have already seen everything 2. we are only bathing 3. (at the end of) we go on two days
On the beach were constantly red flags set up, this meant better not deeper than knee into the water go, because of dangerous undercurrents. So really does not bathe was \u263a recommendable is with the boat to the opposite peninsula can also walk. There the beach is nor a piece of nice and above all less beach boys (quietness).
- other
In Germany the apartment 'Sri Lanka train schedule' download. This shows on demand the entire timetable train including the respective prices.
At the airport pre-paid sim get (passport). With etisalat 200 rs. For the sim card, 300 rs. For 1 gigabyte-flat, 4-10 rs. For calls to german landline numbers.
In the hotel find many a time weddings instead of a small tip you can sometimes on the elephants for the wedding horse riding or at least be petted/feed. read more

The hotel shows, which the rooms concerned, ambivalent. We had a standard room booked. The from the hotel offered room was to put it mildly a catastrophe. Mold in the bathroom, stains on the soils and the chairs, boxes worn and the room as such run-down. After a complaint at the hotel management was a superior room made available, the clean and the standard of a 4 star hotels was. According to hotel management is the hotel from middle 2013 entirely renovated. read more

Hotel is very clean, friendly, room partly renovation necessary - mattresses are sagged, food was varied, serving staff for the food somewhat slow-you should much time bring along, are disturbing russians for the food, should also arabs be present then it will only really loud-they call over the hallway to the last room and until o'clock is not peace, unfortunately we had 2 days before our departure such arab guests, recommend the hotel for this guests a private sector where loud as you want, apart from that is this hotel very nice, at the beach there are a lot of ... people the A which wish to sell, have a boat excursion-more precise question where it runs, because a visit to the herb garden in which you sell something or not is, if kräutersalben and so on wanted to buy, into town is a pharmacy there you get cheaper, small train was worth an experience and 10 kilometer into town not much, apart from that are the people very friendly and serenity is contagious, we have to 3 days still not our circadian rhythms found, Sri Lanka is worth a trip read more

Whoever is looking for peace and quiet, should this hotel avoid. The hotel is mostly by Russian and Chinese vacations ( home) were looking for. The noise by the pool and in the dining room you can't describe.
The hotel was us as an alternative the Lanka Princess recommended, as in the lp renovation works carried out were. Afterwards we would like construction noises taken. read more

We were very satisfied with the hotel, complex very nice, staff is very friendly and obliging, the food was first class, a lot of choice!
We found it good, that the hotel guests from different cultures and countries had, was very amusing. We found disturbing German guests, the once again about everything and everyone something to moan about had, too loud, too many foreigners and so on if you go abroad, one should not expect, that all German! read more

The hotel with very friendly staff lies directly at the beach. The May the beginning of the rainy season were, the hotel was not 100% IG fully booked. So, we had lots of space in the garden area, in the restaurant, at the bar and hence perfect holiday rest rest.
Particular emphasis should be on the absolutely friendly staff with very good German. Bit of English you should nevertheless can.
The rooms are probably already a bit shabby, the bathroom might renovation use, it didn't bother us, since we much on the way or at the beach were. It was ... every day thoroughly cleaned and our bed was lovingly decorated.
In front of the hotel there are many guides. Just talk to them, they are very nice and you can have the most different excursions with you undertake. read more

On arrival we were a bit disappointed over the cleanliness of the bathroom, as well as the towels and the bed sheets. The service from the staff was perfect. It was reacted immediately and we got everything was fresh and clean.
The double rooms are ageing and accordingly in a worn condition. Us this however not disturbed.
The main restaurant, as well as the Seafoodrestaurant we can only positively mention. There was a wide selection of cold, warm meals and freshly grilled specialties. Furthermore were curry in many variations.
The garden area and the pool area were very nicely arranged. ... Pool chairs were sufficiently available. The pool boys were very considerate and helpful.
The beach was spacious and clean. Swimming in the sea was only limited possible as the undercurrent was very strong.
The complete hotel staff is friendly and at all times at the wellbeing of the guest hard.
In short: we felt really comfortable read more

Following our very interesting, 7-day round trip was the choice of this quiet hotels for relaxation optimal. We would like to highlight the very good food specifically related to locals Currys, while the benefits of the service personnel depending upon daily form very patchy were. But this one probably less out of malice as more on Mentalitätsgründe relate.
Apart from that matched the whole vacation allen expectations, whereas flora and fauna very impressive and outlandish are. For a round trip there is plenty of potential of sights to landscape and culture.
Tip: insect repellant not forget! read more

The hotel is really a bit older, but it is actually a beautiful hotel. We could regularly see, that broken was repaired, one is thus already hard, the hotel maintained. The cleanliness was also reasonable. Unfortunately were also with us lots of russians, we felt those however not as disturbing, merely the ' liegenklau' was a bit annoying, since these are not even used. The average age transverse patch, to the end of our trip, but enormous through prior a whole group of pensioners. read more

As already mentioned often, it is at this hotel for a older hotel. We had booked a standard room and truthfully also not that much expected. The bathroom pretty horrible or we could also mold notice. As in such countries usually only for a tip a bit thorough cleaned.
the food was completely okay. You have always found something to eat.
but: the absolute disaster was, that in our room the safe did not work and despite repeated not was repaired.
and by coincidence, was missing on the fifth day our stay suddenly an individual 100 dollars appearance, which I ... mentioned in my bag between the clothes had hidden, from my room. I reported this of course immediately or I am sure, that by a cleaning Kraft was stolen, but was done exactly nothing at all.
it is however even worse: a US reisendes couple the day of check out the open drinks pay, as the hotel management a bill of €80 for conversations after Austria requested, which allegedly with the phone were led. Obviously was not the case, what the two or I manager of the hotel so said. This smiled however only so provocative and said, that we the hotel may leave, if this bill is paid. read more
